Sherwin-Williams 2025 Year-End earnings release, January/February 2026; segments sum to $23.57 billion, about $7 million below the $23.57 billion consolidated total (immaterial, under 0.03%)

North American Architectural Paint Market Share

Jensen Investment Management company note, February 2025, citing Sherwin-Williams' own 2023 company filings; Paint Stores Group alone is described as accounting for nearly 60% of industry sales, with Consumer Brands Group bringing the combined company to approximately 70%

Total Net Sales Growth

Sherwin-Williams 10-Ks and year-end earnings releases, fiscal years 2021-2025 (FY2021-FY2023 per stockanalysis.com aggregation of 10-K data; FY2024-FY2025 per Sherwin-Williams' primary earnings releases)

Sources: Segment net sales include a small (~$7 million, under 0.03% of revenue) reconciling gap versus the consolidated total, consistent with Sherwin-Williams' minor intersegment-elimination items. Segment operating income is not shown as a pie summing to consolidated operating income, since the company carries a separate Corporate/Administrative line (interest expense, acquisition amortization, LIFO adjustments) not allocated to the three segments. Two differently-scoped third-party market-share estimates exist: a secondary investment-manager note citing Sherwin-Williams' own filings for the broad North American architectural paint market, and a narrower DIY/big-box-retail-channel statistic from OpenBrand -- these measure different segments of the market and are not directly comparable, so only the broader, more representative estimate is charted. The 2025 all-cash acquisition of BASF's Brazilian architectural paints business (~$1.15 billion) is a material driver of the year's debt increase, not organic leverage growth.
